Sad, 😭
So sad 😞 another fatality on Hwy. 4
I don’t want to sound uncaring but if you drive a motorcycle you should be signed up as an organ donor. That said, RIP partner you died doing what you love.
Hmmm, 2:03 am time of accident? Bars close at 2:00 am? Pretty simple math.
Nothing good happens after 2:00 AM.
As a retired, paramedic, I approve of this statement
Rest in Peace.
The inherent risk of riding a motorcycle are well known. Someone accepts those risks when they get on the motorcycle. Especially with cars and debris on the road and low light conditions. This guy roll the dice and came up snake eyes. Hopefully his organs can be of good use.

What was the alleged “debris”?
.
A ladder? Couch? Tree stump?

RIP brother.
